My father took his life when I was a child. Only recently did I attempt to translate that myriad of emotions into something more, however imperfect, yet personal. It showed at a few major film festivals but more importantly it started a dialogue with my family and others about suicide. Sharing our stories is vital. We are not going at this thing called life alone. Thanks OPB and others for sharing.
